Pedal Differences?

I have the Korg EXP-2 expression pedal and am wondering about getting its big brother the XVP-10.

Other than the obvious differences with the XVP being both a volume pedal and an expression pedal and having a cast aluminum body vs plastic, are there any other differences?

None of the music stores in my area carry the XVP, so I can't get near one.

For example: Is the XVP smoother?, Does it have a longer throw?, etc?

For those who wonder why I might want more than one expression pedal, I also own both a Morpheus and Ultra Proteus that use exp pedals too.

Any suggestions or thoughts?

I have the XVP-10 but I'm not familiar with the EXP-2, I'll throw something.
It is almost too smooth and the range does not cover the whole movement, it's not much, but noticeable.
But at the bottom there is a screw which controls a spring, it can be adjusted so that the resistance begins at the point you specify.
I find that with the spring the pedal is very very accurate and expressive.
The pedal has in fact two inputs and two shared expression and audio outputs, and a tuner output that I'm not familiar with. The minimum volume is adjustable.
And it is as solid as it looks, I think you could actually defend your home with it. :)
